Title: Re: any chance of an ID on this roman please? Post by: legio11augustus on October 12, 2013, 06:08:48 PM would say its a worthers original 2013
Title: Re: any chance of an ID on this roman please? Post by: Pon on October 13, 2013, 10:33:44 AM He looks like Marcus Aurelius to me. I'll have a better look when I get home on a decent sized monitor :D
**Edit** If it is Marcus Aurelius then the reverse is most likely (from what I can see) " Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus shaking hands" Title: Re: any chance of an ID on this roman please?

It is much appreciated indeed. If it is Marcus, then it has some significance in the field that we are searching. Its the first roman off it that we have found, though i am aware of a julia domna being found some time ago!!
thanks for taking the time Pon. Cheers Title: Re: any chance of an ID on this roman please? Post by: probono on October 13, 2013, 08:27:18 PM You should look harder :)
I'm convinced it's this one:- Septimius Severus AE Sestertius. 194 AD. L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP III, laureate head right / MONET AVG COS II P P, the three Monetae standing facing, heads left, each holding scales and a cornucopiae, SC in ex. Cohen 336. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/septimius_severus/RIC_0670.jpg (http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/septimius_severus/RIC_0670.jpg) Title: Re: any chance of an ID on this roman please? Post by: Pon on October 14, 2013, 10:54:50 AM You're right I should look harder ::) Without doubt there are 3 people on the reverse, not two as I first thought. I think your id is right on the money...I can only apologise and I promise to try harder from now on ;D ;D ;D
